That's quite the optimistic outlook. Reminds me of the song Moonshadow.

     And if I ever lose my hands,
     Lose my plough, lose my land,
     Oh, if I ever lose my hands,
     Oh, well...
     I won’t have to work no more.

     And if I ever lose my eyes,
     If my colours all run dry,
     Yes, if I ever lose my eyes,
     Oh well...
     I won't have to cry no more.

So yes, it's nice that GPL compatibility issues are gone, but throwing
out the GPL along with compatibility with is is not something to be
happy about. Smacks of Pollyanna to me.
